I caught Shaidle's performance on Michael Coren's show a few weeks ago, and I was astonished at how poorly she argues her case. She kept referring to the human rights commissions as "quasi-legal" and the lawyer had to remind her that entities defined by statutes are entirely legal.

Mike Brock was only slightly less embarrassing with his hysterics (and lack of information) about Hugo Chavez (he seemed to have forgotten that Hugo Chavez had been removed from power in a coup for while), but I digress...

Anyway, it all boiled down to her ranting assertion that we're making hate illegal, which is complete nonsense. She really has to be dismissed as a self-agrandising lunatic who, in a less enlightened society, would have been locked up by now.

I had hoped "the furious nobody" would soon lapse into self-parody, at which point she'd become worth the attention, but I really don't think she's smart enough, or properly socialised enough to pull that off. She's been recently whining about the Canadian cult of decency, failing to notice, I guess, how many of us call her a "cunt" all the time.

...something I (and everyone I know) wouldn't hesitate to call her to her face, at this point.

I'm a regular reader of CC, and I used to write some pieces for the National Post, a few articles on Indian Affairs and some co-book reviews with Liz Nickson.

So suck on that to the idiot who claimed nobody here could ever achieve this.

I also wrote for the Winnipeg Free Press.So suck on that.

After Ken Whyte left the NP just wasn't the same.

I wonder if Johnny Kay knows exactly what Kathy Shaidle has written in the past about Aboriginals, Black people and here infamous "News Flash Muslims Are Stupid Retards".

I say she lasts a little longer than Rachel Marsden, but will have trouble coming up with new things to say on a regular basis and slowly start submitting stuff that the editors know won't make it past the lawyers.

Yep... I wonder how long the Aspers want to keep losing millions of dollars for a vanity project. The NP has not ever made a profit... EVER in it's entire existence.

And just so you know.. I was at the post when they paid big bucks for stories. Now they only pay $150.00 per 1000 word article, thereabouts.

Don't worry - this gig that Kathy landed thanks to Mark Steyn's shilling for her.... (does anybody other than me find it odd that Steyn won't write for the paper because it doesn't meet his lofty standards but he does encourage Kathy to write for it...hmmmmm).... won't keep her off of welfare. Even if she was getting 2 articles in a week, it's less than $350 a week before taxes.

People can make better money than that tending bar or being a waitress in a good restaurant on night shift.

-- It's only when commentary about the two KKKs or other prominent crazy-right-wing retards really really hits hard that Dick or those like him climb out from under their collectivist rocks and start braying the usual threats and comments like the above.

I think it's great that Dick here is our own private weathervane about whether or not the commentary on the two KKKs has really hit home.

You know you're really under the skin when Dick pops up like a demented whack-a-mole on meth.

SoThanks for letting us know when it weally weally "hurts" Dick! What an invaluable service you provide!

Keep up the great werk!You really ought to try and make a show of being less predictable than this.

It's entertaining to watch Dick preen himself and occasionally suggest that I have some kind of single-minded obsession with him.

I'm guessing that would be the same single-minded obsession I have with Patsy Ross. And Kate McMillan. And Brian Lemon. And Stephen Taylor. And Raphael Alexander. And dr. roy. And Denyse O'Leary. And Suzie All-Caps. And JoJo. And Neo Conservative. And Celestial Junk's "Paul." And ... and ...

Well, you get the idea. I'm sure each and every one of them sits at home in the evening, congratulating themselves on how they are the sole and exclusive focus of my attention.

The reality is, of course, not quite so exciting. But don't tell them, since all you'd hear would be the sound of rapidly-deflating egos.

Ah gee, you're dropping names and leave me out? Hurts...

:-) But seriously, I was surprised that another blogger scooped you on this. I don't remember where I saw this yesterday, but the news was quite shocking. I guess it is a usual event for the NP to give a column to a racist.

...tax free? How does that work? Are you planning on giving it in cash under the table in an envelope? Or are you just counting on the fact whoever would take you up on that would:a) be a tax dodger and/or penurious.

b) would trust you to come through with the bounty money after you're provided with the correct information on CC? Which I presume would also require said informant exposing identity enough to you to have the money sent to the proper address. Unless you opt for a face to face exchange in an alley somewhere.

Not that you had much credibility to start with, but the stunt with the tattoo puts you into Kelvin scale negative integers. Not to mention your public incitement to avoid Revenue Canada. Definitely items to put on your resume the next time you decide to run for public office.

An in-law of mine (who I can't stand) in Calgary just got done in for under-reporting her online/home business (ie ponzi scheme) revenue. I only wish I had shopped her off to the taxman myself, but only Richard Evans engages in that kind of prickish behaviour.
